The Woolwich Division of the Royal Marines was established in 1805 so a move from Portsmouth to Woolwich around this time could well suggest a Royal Marine link.

To be fair, I wouldn't give him back if someone paid me a million pounds! 🐈

I know you know this but just to clarify, Valuation Office records for the whole of England/Wales are available at the National Archives. Local record offices also hold separate collections of records generated (locally) by the Valuation Office. You don’t have to wait for them to be released online!

The Land Tax registers (available for London on Ancestry) and an insurance record, indexed in The London Archives catalogue.

The records of the Tithe Commission can help with this (for the 1830s/1840s) and the Valuation Office (for the 1910s).

Today I want to find out more about his family. He was one of eight children so I'm going to dig deeper into the lives of each of his siblings and see what I can find... 2/2

I’d be happy with a couple of tap ins!

Not for me!
